This is going to sound weird but back in high school many years ago I was kinda known for having really good eyebrows. I know ..... weird...huh?

Anyway, I never had to do much to them, they were just shaped natural and I never went for the skinny look anyway.
Even now when I meet up with friends from high school on face book they talk about my eyebrows.

So, I'm leading up to a boo hoo....as time has gone on (due to my thyroid and age) I don't have hair on my arms, legs and it's thin right in the front of my head (I wear a wig).

I started noticing my eyebrows getting thin and like my hair turning gray (I'm 71 soon). The 'tails' of my brows started getting sparse.

I found a wonderful eyebrow not a brush (more like a small wand) that I use. It's by BENEFIT and even though I have naturally brown hair I wear a blondish brown (mostly blonde wig). I use the lightest color of this Benefit eyebrow makeup. It has tiny hairs in the tube. It colors the gray and makes my eyebrows look very, very normal. I recommend people try it.

I have had trouble finding it but I did find it at Ulta in the Benefit section. Like I said it has tiny hairs that adhere to my brows. It doesn't look drawn on like a pencil does. I started using it from HSN when they had it on. I don't know if they still sell it, if they do get it there because it's easy to return it if you don't like it.

Anyway, thought I'd tell you about MY good find. Getting old stinks doesn't it? Ha!
@Annabellethecat66

I am intrigued by the mention of a Benefit product for brows. My brows are in a word -- PSYCHO!!! I just have given up on them. They are really pale --- part of them are thickish and wiry and the hairs go every which way --- and then the tale part --- is very sparse and thin! Would you be kind enough to post the full name of this brow product? I am hoping maybe this would be something that would help me! Thanks so much!

@AngelPuppy1 Are you talking about Benefit Give Me Brows?

Kitty Galore, I really enjoyed your post! (And I could care less that you didn't use several paragraphs!). I had really nice brows until a couple of years ago - that's when my right brow went wonkers on its own! The left one lies nice and arched and flat - the right one is another story. I'm 69 and will try the Chapstick idea to tame it! I deal with my misaligned brow and have no need to have it professionally perfected (except for my hair stylist who occasionally tells me she'll trim my wild right brow)! For those of you who do - go for it!

@jannabelle1. Thank you for your post I appreciate your support of my post

your description of your eyebrow problem is exactly what I'm talking about ! My left brow is definitely wonky !!! Lol I feel my hair stylist maybe could help it look better , but it would be an ongoing situation as when it grows back will gave the same problem. Going to try the Chapstick idea , worth a try right ?! Hope it works for both of us !

When you find that better brow product, please post it. I think I own one of everything Amazon sells looking for it. My left brown is especially skimpy and I have a chicken pox scar right in the middle of it on which a brown pencil catches. It's a real challenge.
@Kachina624. If I ever find one I will be sure to let you know. Had no idea so many had this problem. It's not the end if the world but it sure would be nice to solve it . Btw I have always wanted to tell you that your collie is just beautiful !! His/her name?
@Kitty Galore Thanks, his name was Jett as in jet black. I lost him in November 2015, when he lost the use of his back legs. Lost another collie that month too, and a Collie and an Aussie this year. All were very old.

@Kachina624. First if all I'm very sorry for your loss , have lost 3 kitties myself and it never gets easy losing them, they are family , we loved them very much. Each was old and had wonderful life's, we still miss each if them everyday.

Love the name Jett, great name !

@Kitty GaloreI just received this in my Sephora sampler box. (every month). It's called Gimme Brow. I love it. Only trouble was they sent a dark color. But I'm going in and buy the lightest shade they have. You can try it right there in the store. I know I'm going to. My problem is, one brow is higher than the other. I need to fake it to make the other brow higher.

@Judaline. Same problem here, the wonky eyebrow is also lower then the left and I also have to fake it with that brow.

i will go and try the gimme brow It is worth a try. Thanks
